Searching for their third Premier League win in four matches, Manchester United travel to the Gtech Community Stadium to face Brentford on Saturday lunchtime.
Both teams are currently occupying a place in the bottom half of the table, with the Red Devils in 11th position with seven point and the Bees three points further back in 17th spot after five games.
After five Premier League games this term, Man United have had the most shots (81) – Saturday’s opponents Brentford have had the fewest (41) – while
the Red Devils are averaging 16.2 shots per match which is greater than the 13.9 average under Amorim last season. Their xG per game has also increased from 1.33 to 2.03.
United, who have lost 15 of their last 24 visits to London, suffered a 4-3 defeat in their last trip to Brentford in May and Amorim’s side are in danger of losing back-to-back meeting with the Bees for only the third time, after previously losing successive games in the second tier in December 1934 and in the top division in February 1937.
